The Suffolk Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy is a requirement under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.  It has been produced by the new division of the council working with the National Health who up to now have been responsible for this activity.  It will focus on four strategic themes:

1. Every child in Suffolk has the best start in life;
2. Suffolk residents have access to a healthy environment and take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing;
3. Older people in Suffolk have a good quality of life, and;
4. People in Suffolk have the opportunity to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

The next stage will be an action plan
